Today I actually had someone tell me that "Adam's Sin" was that he didn't control his wife.
I about fell off my chair.
Let's get this straight, folks.
Adam's sin was that he disobeyed God and ate the "fruit" same as Eve, and
then he turned around and compounded this sin by not manning up and trying to
blame and scapegoat his wife for something that he did on his own two flat
feet.
Eve was deceived by the half-truths of Satan--- the most beautiful and
wiliest of all the angels, an adversary that Jesus wrestled for a full forty
days, sold her a Bill of Goods. She was overcome by a most terrible Adversary.
How about Adam was overcome by Adam, by his own feckless ego and lust for
power and lack of commitment and trust and gratitude to God? And then he
didn't even have the decency, good sense, and courage to confess that he'd done
it under his own power. No, he had to turn around and blame someone else for
it.
That's Adam for you.
He and his sons---generally speaking---- still haven't confessed and
repented either one of these sins, not his sin against God and not his sin
against Eve, either.
Adam's sons are still sitting on their pity potties pointing fingers and
spouting blame. It is in fact one of their hallmark characteristics and you can
see it and its impact on the world every single day:
Political leaders who point fingers at the other side of the aisle. Heads
of state who point at other heads of state. Banks who point at borrowers as if
they aren't offering to lend. Fathers who point at the mothers of their own
children as if they didn't have a thing to do with the situation. Men who point
at anyone who isn't just like them. Whites who point at blacks and blacks who
point at whites. Patriots who point at other patriots. I could go on all
night....it is always "Eve's fault", or "George's fault"---- anyone and
everybody else's fault, never Adam's fault.
Even worse, Adam's sons are still estranged from God, still not repenting
their lack of faith and bad behavior and willfulness and ingratitude and greed.
Far from it. They still want to prance around and set themselves up as kings
instead of God, and if they can't dominate an entire country, they at least want
to dominate the household they share with Eve's daughters.
Failure to be truthful and honest and brave, failure to admit mistakes,
failure to give God his due, and do the jobs that God gave Adam, failure to obey
simple instructions like "don't kill", "don't steal" and "don't lie"---and then
on top of it, failure to take responsibility for all these failures----- these
are the sins of Adam.
Eve just accepted her punishment without blaming anyone else. Her daughters
still do. I will leave it to the rest of you to figure out which --- Adam or Eve
--- acted more honorably and responsibly then and now.

This is one response that does fit into natural law through a misunderstanding of what this story symbolizes which I will not touch.
ReplyDelete"women give life to create power, man takes life to acquire power"
The head and heart are equal while in balance, although are always in opposition when unbalanced......ummmm
What do you mean by "balanced"? Please give me an example.
ReplyDeleteThe sum of the difference between the heart/feeling, where the feeling of I arises within man and reason/head where the faculty of discernment arises gives to us a character according to the unification of the two and everything in between.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, the heart manifests life/woman gives life to create power, notice that life itself precedes the form of life, i.e. body, mother Earth. Knowledge is the impression left as a remainder after the experience of living in the moment, now, now, now gives way to the father of all form or record/dead aspect given by life/reality. It is true that the father gives form to the body and it should be obvious that both are equal until WE unbalance the seeming two. For all things come from the One power(fulcrum) unseen, then divides to express power appearing/seen, as two extensions of the lever as a power time/speed time principle on which this universe rests.
